ideal solution for a wide variety of
industries such as banking, retail and
industrial automation where PCs have
significantly shorter lifecycles than the

Embedded USB Serial Adapters for
customenclosures
If you’re looking to seamlessly connect
multiple serial peripherals via a single
USB port in a custom enclosure, try
Quatech’sEmbeddedUSBSerialAdapt-
ers. These reliable units use the same
technologyasourstandardproductsand
enablemanufacturersandintegratorsto
easily incorporate multiple serial inter-
face devices such as keypads,
displays,cardreaders, andprinters into
custom enclosures that lack native
serial support without changing
software written for serial
portcommunications.
Availablewith 4or8 independentports,
the small-footprint boards have built-in
surge suppression at each serial port,
necessary for maximum reliability and
robustness.Mounting holesallow easy
installationintocabinets andkiosks.For
maximum flexibility, each port on 200/
300 models can be configured as RS-
422orRS-485inanycombination,mean-
ing a single adapter can be used to
implementmultiple full-duplexand half-
duplexmulti-drop networks.

Ordering Information
Surge Suppression: Surge suppression applied
to each line that is capable of sustaining up to
40A peak, 8 x 20ìs transient surges, a clamping
voltage of 30V and a peak energy dissipation of
0.1 Joules. Surge suppression is not available
with SSU-100-EMB.
